Check Service Documentation Incorrect

The documentation says the following as it pertains to the return variable, "Enter an existing or new variable name in this field. The variable will hold TRUE if the named service is running, FALSE otherwise. "
This is not the case. The return value is NOTINSTALLED if the service is not installed and RUNNING if the service is running.

Just for the record...I think that your documentation is very good. I know that it is frustrating having some computer geek tell you that your docs are not up to date
...it really wasn't that big of a deal anyway, just wanted to let you know.
